Michelle and Phillip were married with a full Catholic Mass, in a beautiful church in San Gimignano. Guests travelled from South Africa and England to join the couple for a week long event, of wine tastings, walking tours in Florence and Siena, and the unforgettable wedding and reception at a large country villa.

The couple write:

Dear Ben,

We can't believe 2 months have passed since the wedding and apologize for the belated but heartfelt thanks. Our day was truly magical. Every little detail from the flowers to the food surpassed our greatest expectations. Marissa did a wonderful job, I loved my bouquet, all the flowers in the church and reception hall.

Our guests are still talking about their wonderful week at the villa and wants to join us there for our first anniversary! Everybody loved the pizza served at the rehearsal dinner especially the chocolate pie.They all think the wedding was perfect, intimate and very elegant. We are quick to remind them that you planned the whole event and deserve their praise.We really appreciate all your hard work and effort.

Our pictures arrived and the album has travelled everywhere with us, our friends and family thinks that the photography is out of this world.We hardly even noticed Stephano during the ceremony and he really allowed us to be ourselves and enjoy the walk through town.Roberto and Pilar made me feel like a fairy princess and truly spoiled our mothers and girlfriends.They did of course all fall a little bit in love with him!

We especially enjoyed the jazz band and people were still dancing at 2 am before taking the party down to the pool. I think the last guests went to bed around 4.30 am.

When I woke up the next morning I immediately told Phillip that I wanted to do it all over again...

Please express our gratitude to your team for their role in creating this truly unforgettable event.

Auguri Sinceri,
Phillip & Michelle
